A ATalllij11lloD Surgicaalljl9lati0l
A FATAL MISTAKE.

TuB Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February :2s3d, 1883, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commot;on among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with q slight de-
rangelnent Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, q feeling
that has been described as a
faint Call gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. ALI prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi-
able. According ly, on the 22d
Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Yuckerman, Dr.. PeTier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Cap;,er,
and DR.. Halliwell Of the Po...ce
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
OF the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. Wl-n
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of "a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prustration (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing today. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roofs, or SE1eE1's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or lndi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class OF
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor Of this dyspcptic remedy
do not question It's convincing
nature and the article has an

Goth territories were not excessive. New
Me xicO and Arizona were particularly for
tunate. Correspondents writes that the
loss does not exceed per cent. in the
territories named. Texas reports some
suffering, because of the drouth, but the
winter was much more favorable to
stockmen than that Of 1856. On
the whole, therefore, the con-
cluslon is arrived at that the past win

pushed steadily westward. Il is the
opinion of some of the correspondents
that the cattle industry has reached its
height, and several sections report that il

The Interstate commerce law works to

An Editor on Trial.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 13.-T. S. Gardner
and wife, proprietors of the Farm Journal
and Farm Album, were before United
States Commissioner Hsyn this morning,
charged with fraudulently using the mails.
Gardner is said to have advertised that he
would send the Farm Journal for one year
together with a handsome book of en-
grovings on receipt of 48 cents. When
one sent the 48 cents he received the Jan
uary copy of the paper, together with a
book of stock engravings, the total value
being about cents. He also received q
circular showing how he could easily
make an normOus salary by getting up
clubs. Every days mail used to bring
Gardner from 100 to 200 letters contain
Ing the names of subscribers including
from two to twenty. Another feature
was to promise in the advertisement that
when the subscription list reached GER
tain number he would lend to any sub
scriber money at 4 per cent. A number
of witnesses from all sections of the
country were present and testified for the
government. The pOstoffice inspector
estimates the receipts of the firm at
something like $4,000.
